HKMS : The Law Enforcer

A series of HK movie synopses regurgitated verbatim from the dvd/vcd/laserdisc cover. Beware this definitely contains spoilers.

Wu Wan-lung is a member of the Royal Hong Kong Police Force and is temporarily interdicted from duty because he has been suffering from epilepsy. One day he coincidently spots out a robbery and has subsequently rescued a girl Mark, and also causes the three robbers at scene seriously hurt. On the other hand, Danny Lee, a Chief Inspector of the Crime Squad, ratiocinates that there will be a big hold-up involving trade of arms occurred in the near future. In the mean time, one jewellery shop is robbed by two gangsters Evan and Fat Dog. On the route of escape, Fat Dog is shot to injure and is finally killed by Evan. One day, Wu seriously hurts a man called Nut in the consequence of preventing a taxi driver from being assaulted by Nut. Nut is heartedly hate Wu and swears to take revenge. Coincidently, Nut and Evan are good friends and Evan requests Nut to become his partner in a tremendous planned robbery...It's been a while since I the last one of these, and I think The Law Enforcer was worth the wait. In fact I think "Nut is heartedly hate Wu" is my new favourite HKMS line of them all.

About Me

I discovered Hong Kong cinema over 20 years ago when Channel 4 showed a series of Hong Kong ghost stories which included screenings of Rouge and Encounters of the spooky kind. I watched them all and wanted more,next up was Jonathan Ross' Incredibly strange film show on Tsui Hark where they showed a clip of Chow Yun Fat hiding guns in plant pots from A better tomorrow and the shootout that follows. My mind was blown there and then but the thing that made me a fan forever more was seeing a trailer on a palace video release for The killer. Ever since I have been watching and spending far too much money on HK related goodies (and the kit to watch them on). The blog is somewhere to put my thoughts on my HK passion, a passion that refuses to die even though HK cinema is struggling at the moment.
